HI everyone, it's Watercolor month and so let's celebrate by creating a watercolor card today. I am going to show you what I think is one of the the easiest watercoloring techniques. I will be using my Happiness Abounds stamp set and Amazing Thanks dies to create a colorful thank you card. I'd love to show you this easy idea.
The Happiness Abounds set (15 photopolymer stamps) is perfect for making elegant cards. The set has all-occasion sentiments to celebrate those you love with greetings in various sizes and line-art floral images which are perfect for this watercoloring technique. As you can see in the photo above, the set has matching dies but I won't be using these on today's card.
Essential for watercoloring techniques is our Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. This is a thick paper designed especially for watercoloring. Cold-pressed, archival cotton paper. Natural white color with subtle texture. You get 10 5" x 7" sheets in a pack.
To see my easy watercolor technique, have a look at my video below. I made a mistake on my card so I also show you an idea for fixing it!
